When Eamon's brother, Tobin, takes off after a nasty breakup, Eamon needs Rachel to help find him. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep the lines of friendship from blurring when they both want something more. When Tobin returns, what was supposed to be a celebratory weekend for Eamon and Rachel, somehow, turns into much more. And as scary as it is, neither one of them know how to let it go. Maybe the answer is that they shouldn't... Or maybe their destiny was decided long before they even met. ~~~ Content Warning The story you are about to read is intended for mature readers due to its sexual content and language.
